Hospitable and iGMS both offer reporting dashboards and listing management, but Hospitable goes much further for property management workflows.

Hospitable includes owner statements, expense management, and owner payouts, allowing full financial tracking and controlled disbursement to owners. It also provides an owner portal so owners can securely view performance data and book stays in their own properties, and supports professional accounting integrations, giving property managers a complete financial reporting stack that iGMS does not offer.
